Default Re: Umm, have to bring up the new \"look\"

Just my $0.02...

I voted "I don't really care one way or the other", and I really don't. I can understand the viewpoint of those who see the bullet as something out of place. I also understand those who say it's right where it belongs.

I have grown up and still live in an area of the country where guns are a fact of life. Nearly every house has at least one gun, and most males over 16 have at least one gun. Where I live, a gun is a natural thing to have, and people don't understand what all the fuss is about with guns. Some kid took a gun into his/her (though it's been mostly males thus far) school and shot at people? Then he never was taught how to use a gun. "He should get a good beating, he should have to look at what the results of his carelessness was, someone should teach him how to properly use a gun, then he should be put in jail for however many years the Judge decides", that's the response you would get here.

I believe in most of the arguements listed above. However, all the arguements above are the arguements of hunters, sportsmen. There shouldn't be guns made to kill people and only kill people available to the general public. It's a very sensitive issue, one that is made even more sensitive by the fact that the two sides are so diametrically opposite.

To get to the point: The bullet fits into the WarGaming genre. There are other things that could fit into the genre. Somebody will find something wrong with any header, no matter how many polls are held. For this particular one, it will probably end up being 33%/33%/33%, bullet bad/bullet good/I don't care. You can't please everyone.
